Springs drew immediate interest from New England and New Orleans, according to league sources, and took the move in stride, texting a reporter during Haynesworth's press conference, "Can you ask Haynesworth to buy my house?"

Maybe we're sending a message to Leigh Bodden that he's not the only option in town.

I would much rather have Bodden if at all reasonable than a 33 year old Springs. Bodden's agent reported that things went "very well" with the Pats, so my guess is that there's strong mutual interest, just disagreement about the $$. If the Pats come up with some alternatives and no one throws big money at Bodden, I think he will come back to the table in a day or two.

The 33 year old player is much more apt to accept what the Patriots

can offer. The Patriots and Bodden might be 4 million dollars per year apart.

I think it was this year. But, I remember a game where they put him on TO. Jammed him at line of scrimmage all day. Beat the Cowboys in Dallas. I'd like to see us get back to a little more press coverage. And, he might allow us to do that.

Maybe yesterday they told Boddens agent to come back tommorow......Today.

FYI-Jerry Jones is showing interest in him down here in VR. We just traded Anthony Henry(whom we were going to cut anyways) to Detroit for Jon Kitna. So all of a sudden, again, with Pacman and now Henry gone(and SS Roy likely on his way out), DB is all of a sudden a glaring weakness on our team.

He's obviously a depth option, or the backup plan to bodden not working.

If recent history has shown us anything, it's that BB believes that average, run of the mill CBs can succeed if a consistent pass rush is present. He believes in paying and drafting D-linemen ahead of corners at every turn. A 34 year old Springs who can be had for relatively light dough is right up his alley.

Now that they've unloaded Matt Cassel's cap number, it's time to spend it. The Patriots couldn't complete a deal with Leigh Bodden during his visit, but they are still talking. It wouldn't shock us if the Patriots sign both.
